The makayla rae experience

There is something about earthy tones, snuggles at sunset, and the words I do. I love having moments happen that are real, relaxed, and genuine. I want my images to be a true testament of what the day truly was. I want the tears and laughter to reappear the second you look at your gallery. This happens because of one main thing, a strong connection. The connection with my couples is what enables us to be real together and capture those intimate moments for you to cherish for all those years to come.

COLLECTIONS

Wedding Investments start at $2700.

I believe in allowing you to have the rights to all images I produce. I also allow you to have the option to have beautiful prints to hang on your wall, coffee table books to boast about over wine with the girls, and memories that serve as gifts to all your loved ones.
Traveling is not only a hobby of mine but an obsession. Going different places be it the mountains, the ocean, the fields, or a rooftop in the busy downtown I will be there.

about

Hello there. I’m Kayla, or as some prefer, Makayla, I am pretty sure I am ok with either. I am blessed to be married to the hardest working, not to mention most handsome farmer around, who gave me three blonde, beautifully busy, little boys. As cliché as it sounds I find true beauty in everything around me. Yes, I said EVERYTHING. My passion for photography has been around since I was a wee one, so intrigued in looking at all the photos and their composition. I just didn’t know how far that passion would take me. I have a mad obsession for capturing moments that are both timeless and real, the moments that aren’t rehearsed nor posed. I love to spend time with my clients and make sure our bond is as strong as gorilla glue. I cherish my couples and always consider them my friends.

My wedding style screams outdoors. Natural light is my partner in crime, there is no doubt about that. I drool over DIY barn weddings, wide-open fields, rustic boho inspiration atop a mountainside, and dreamy beach weddings. I am obsessed with both neutrals and bold colors. I enjoy a true statement day. I love brides that put their personality and flare into their happily ever after. I love hearty laughs and Jesus. I love bold tattoos and margaritas. God has blessed me with a pretty amazing life if I may say so.

Traveling is not only a hobby of mine but an obsession. Going different places be it the mountains, the ocean, the fields, or a rooftop in the busy downtown Iwill be there. Although I am based in Minnesota I absolutely adore traveling more then anything and charge only minimal traveling fees.

God is Good. God is SO GOOD. It's amazing how life really does work. You see this last week ... or maybe three I have been stressing myself out. Struggling. Trying to remember why I am a photographer. Trying to make everyone happy. Trying new things and failing. Until late last night when I was sipping on my flat not super good wine while editing. These two lit my soul on fire. Everything about them. Their images. What they represent. Just like that God reminded me why I am here. Why I struggle. I need to make it through the storm to see the rainbow.
